Sweet Peas

Sadly my Aunt Marion died just after Christmas. BUT her lovely daughter-in-law, Rita, gave all those at the funeral a goodie bag of things which would remind us all of Marion which included a packet of sweet pea seeds. 

She was always fond of her garden and her favourite flower was the sweet pea. A long time ago I was a bridesmaid, with my cousin, for her when she married my Uncle Alan and of course we had posies of sweet peas while our dresses were in a lovely lilac colour to match.

So now its warm enough to plant my seeds. As we have a sunny yard rather than a garden I have bought new pots to plant in and at the same time bought a couple of packets of seeds. Candytuft will match my climbing peas and were a favourite of my grandmother who planted them as a border every year.  

Then I bought some nasturtiums, gaudy and bright, in oranges and yellow which were a favourite of my late mother. So once planted, fingers crossed for some sun and showers, I will have a display which will also remind me of times and gardens past!
